Xijing Chang'an, after several years of silence in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, suddenly became lively again.

It's just that this excitement is not the majesty of all countries coming to the court, nor the prosperity of the people and the people, but the sudden turmoil, which suddenly swept the entire Chang'an City.

Here's how it happened: At the beginning of November, when the news of the coup d'état in Shendu reached Xijing, the entire city of Chang'an was boiling, and the people rushed to tell each other, which could be described as a time of joy.

In addition to being like the people in other parts of the world, they are not angry about changing the dynasty and becoming the heroine, but the people of Chang'an City have a more realistic feeling of joy.

Originally, they Chang'an was the imperial Gyeonggi, the most prosperous place in the world. However, with the chaos of the demon queen, the scenery of Chang'an City is no longer there, and it has suffered a double loss in politics and people's livelihood.

Now that the demon queen has finally been defeated, the power belongs to the Li family, which is also regarded as keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon for the people of Chang'an City, and finally waiting for the turn of the neji Tailai.

This atmosphere lasted until Xuanfu made Dou Huairang arrive in Xijing, especially when Dou Huairang announced that he would gather the people's forces and repair the two major interiors to prepare for the return of the holy car to Chang'an, and the enthusiasm of the people soon reached the extreme.

Not to mention the positive response of the people in the city, the surrounding suburban villagers flocked directly to Chang'an City, and there was no need for the government to levy military service.

These villagers may not have a clear sense of loyalty, but they also have a sense of pride in their hearts to be born in this township, in order to restore the scenery of Chang'an City to the center of the emperor's mansion in the past, they are also willing to donate small strength without asking for anything in return.

So, in just over half a month, Chang'an City has poured into more than 100,000 villagers, all of whom are willing to repair the emperor's mansion and welcome the return of the holy driver.

But no matter what kind of mood the people are in to flock to Chang'an, once people gather, there will inevitably be a lot of friction and chaos.

Especially after the outbreak of the Wangchengyi murder case in the first half of the year, the officialdom of Chang'an City was also affected, and Lou Shide, who stayed in Xijing, was directly dismissed, and many officials who stayed behind were also interrogated and degraded.

After the prime minister Li Zhaode sat in Xijing for a few months, the government was able to maintain basic operations, but with Li Zhaode also being recalled to Shendu and demoted, the imperial court did not send new left-behind personnel to take charge, so that in the past period of time, Chang'an City has been lacking effective monitoring.

Xuanfu envoy Dou Huairang also brought a group of envoys to accompany him, but in a hurry, he didn't have time to take over all the affairs of Xijing. In particular, the influx of people into Chang'an City has made the situation even more difficult to deal with.

So soon the situation took a turn for the worse, and the people who poured into Chang'an City always had to eat and drink, even if they did not ask for anything in return. They came to Chang'an with enthusiasm, but when they were hungry, they couldn't find the officials to match. Once a person is extremely hungry, he naturally has to find a way to fill his stomach, and if he does not return, he will leave it behind for the time being, and it is true that he will not be starved to death first.

Xuanfu made Dou Huairang originally happy that the people's hearts were available, and he was thinking about contacting the local people in Xijing, taking advantage of this momentum to make a statement to the imperial court to prepare for the holy car to return. But before the book was ready to be delivered, he turned his head and was surrounded by a group of hungry green eyes.

The situation has developed to this point, and there is still room for redemption.

After Xijing is no longer the center, although the storage of all kinds of materials has also plummeted, after all, it is still the center of Guannai, and it is the backward base of Longyou, Anxi and Hetaosaibei.

If these reserves are directly used, the mood of the hungry and cold people can be temporarily stabilized, and then they will be reported to the imperial court in time, and goods will be drawn from other places to support Guanzhong.

Of course, doing so is tantamount to cutting first and then playing, coercing the people's feelings and forcing the court, and Dou Huairang will inevitably be held responsible. In particular, some of these reserves of goods are related to the military needs of border towns, and once they affect the military situation, the political risks will inevitably be even greater.

Therefore, Dou Huairang finally did not dare to order the opening of those people who were eating in the warehouse, but chose to negotiate with those big clans in Xijing, hoping that they could donate some grain to meet the immediate needs of the people.

Guan Longxun is famous, perhaps now the position is not obvious, but the family inheritance is quite considerable, the entrepreneurial yuan from and even back further, the rewards accumulated by the ancestors, each family has a large number of fields. If they were willing to help, the situation in front of them would be nothing.

And in Dou Huairang's thoughts, the gods are reformed, and the Tang family is restored, in order to be able to return to Guanzhong as soon as possible, these Guanzhong villagers should naturally have the money to contribute and make a strong contribution, showing the world their unity in Guanlong, so as to recover the decline in the Wuzhou Dynasty, so as to regain the right to speak in the court.

Taking a step back, even if you don't consider the general trend of the game in the court, when King Yong was in Xijing a few years ago, he ordered all families to donate hemp to celebrate his birthday, and these people in Xijing also had a good time. For an outsider, he is Guan Long, who is upright, and his plot is not his own selfishness, and it is reasonable, and each family should also help.

But the reality still gave Dou Huai a big mouth, and when he arrived in Xijing, it was extremely beautiful, and the people were almost out of the city for hundreds of miles to greet him. When it comes to welcoming the return of the emperor to Xijing, they are also very thoughtful and enthusiastic, and they are rushing to speak and make suggestions.

But when Dou Huairang came to the door with this plea, those people in Xijing suddenly became cold, and many shirked it, and some simply closed the door and disappeared. Dou Huairang tossed and turned in Xijing City, almost broke his legs, and wore out his mouth, and in the end, only a few families couldn't wipe their faces, and dragged together hundreds of grains of rice.

Such a little bit of food, compared to the hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Xijing City, is not enough to even plug the gaps. Moreover, because the Xuanfu envoy could not come up with food to appease the people, those hungry and faint people began to save themselves, and looting inside and outside Xijing City became a trend, and public security was greatly corrupted.

The families in the city were so harassed that their attitude towards Dou Huairang suddenly turned from cold to complaining, and they all accused Dou Huairang of being ineffective in preaching and forcing him to quickly drive the people who had gathered in the city out of the city.

Faced with such a situation, Dou Huairang also completely lost his mind, and after several trade-offs, he finally decided to follow the wishes of those old people and ordered the people to withdraw from Chang'an City within a few days.

However, it is easier to invite God than to send God, and it is really difficult for hundreds of thousands of people to come and go when they are called. In particular, the reversal of the Xuanfu envoy directly detonated the already dissatisfied feelings of the people, and the conflict finally broke out on a large scale.

At first, the people were still suppressed between the Chengnanfang District, and were suppressed and driven away by Dou Huairang's command of the Xijing left-behind guards and powerful slaves, and there was already a tendency to disperse. But suddenly, there was a righteous rush into Xijing City, directly kidnapped Dou Huairang, and suddenly broke down the still unified front, the nobles took care of their family business, and the guards left behind in Xijing also retreated to the two major cities.

Up to now, the entire Xijing City has been in turmoil, and Baifang is the enemy of each other.

Those nobles and heroes took the Qujiang River in the southeast of the city as the center, and organized domestic slaves to strictly guard against the death to prevent the chaotic people from rushing in. The north of the city is bounded by the horizontal street in front of the Suzaku Gate, which is defended and blocked by the soldiers left behind in Xijing. The rioters were mainly active in Chang'an County, on the southwest side of Zhuquemen Street.

In addition, the merchants of the eastern and western cities also set up their own escort teams to directly block the two cities to avoid being robbed.

The waiting-virtuous square on the west side of Chang'an City is one of the settlements of the old clothes society in the city. Li Yang led one hundred and ten daring soldiers to patrol around the fang, and after driving away a few chaotic people who planned to attack the fang area, he returned to the fang with a heavy heart.

As soon as he returned to the fang, a few disciples of the old clothes society rushed out of the Wuhou shop on the side of the street, and said: "The case is straight, and the south of the street and the peace square have collected 600 people, all of whom are our old clothes society disciples. ”

After Li Yang heard this, he nodded, and then advised: "The current turmoil in the capital is definitely not the norm, and it will not be long before the imperial court will definitely send troops to settle the chaos." We old clothes members, remember not to wander the streets and be caught for crimes. The community is scattered in the countryside, and it is inevitable that they will be coerced into Beijing. ”

"But, however, the grain reserves in several squares in Jingnan are already insufficient. Heping, Chang'an and other squares can't be opened for days......"

When the disciple heard this, he said bitterly, with a sad face.

"Go and ask Zhufang again, how many people are accommodated, how much grain is left, two reports a day, no delay!"

When Li Yang heard this, he earnestly admonished, and after finishing speaking, he returned to a big mansion in Fangzhong, summoned the disciples who were in charge of the treasury to inquire, and learned that the grain storage in Beijing was less than 500 hundred, and he immediately frowned deeply.

Long before the Shendu Incident, these people who stayed in Xijing received a secret order from His Royal Highness King Yongwang to make trouble in Xijing. Therefore, they also urgently dispatched a group of characters to secretly gather in Xijing City, ready to move when the time comes.

After that, things went more smoothly than they imagined, and a large number of people in the countryside entered the city but were not appeased, which has already disturbed Xijing. Seeing this, Li Yang and others also quickly changed their strategy, no longer inciting civil unrest in the name of the Old Clothes Society, but restricting the people from participating in the riots.

Of course, in this process, they didn't do nothing, except for the initial stirring up trouble, as the elite daring soldiers infiltrated the city, Li Yang, Feng Wu and the others teamed up with the daring soldiers to directly kidnap Xuanfu Dou Huairang, making the chaos in Xijing even more difficult to contain. The situation has evolved to the point where it has worked even better than they did in person.

But then the problem is that the current chaos is beyond their control. In particular, many of the old clothes were either spontaneous or coerced into the chaos, which also gave Li Yang and others a headache, so they could only do their best to gather these people back.

But the situation has developed to the present, and their previous reserves are greatly insufficient, especially the rapid depletion of food reserves that caused this turmoil, and there is no way to replenish them.

Last year, they took over a large number of industries of the Dou family, most of which were converted into material storage in various parts of the customs for social maintenance, and there were several large-scale granaries near Xijing.

However, in the current situation in Xijing City, who dares to transfer materials internally and externally, it is undoubtedly the initiative to become a target, and it is inevitable that they will be besieged.

Although the Ancient Clothes Society has the armed forces of the Dare Warrior, Li Yang and the others do not dare to act too unscrupulously. If His Royal Highness King Yong fails to return to Xijing as promised, or fails to fully control the army, and reveals the existence of the brave warriors too much, it will undoubtedly attract the eyes of the king to the head of the Ancient Clothes Society, and even His Royal Highness King Yongwang will not be able to blatantly protect him.

Therefore, after the principals of Xijing got together and discussed, they all tended to continue to hide the Ancient Clothes Society in this turmoil that spread throughout the city, as the next secret move of the Yongwang Palace, so as to help His Highness control the situation in Xijing and even the entire Guanzhong as soon as possible.

Of course, there are tens of thousands of people gathered in Chang'an City, even if the dare soldiers are not clearly displayed, the sense of existence is too big to ignore. But after all, they are not the main culprits in the disturbance of Xijing, and it is difficult for anyone to directly link them with His Royal Highness King Yong, so they can still receive a certain dark chess effect.

It's just that the situation has not changed for a long time, and as the riots continue, the people left behind by King Yong's sect have been divided, and the communication between them is not smooth, and Li Yang doesn't know what to do next.

If he was still not optimistic enough, then Li Yang decided to take the risk tonight to organize a group of brave soldiers to go out of the city to transport food, and lure a part of the people gathered in the city out of the city to settle outside the city to relieve the pressure in the city.

Just as he was thinking about it, several people in cloaks outside the door hurriedly walked in, led by Feng Wu, a hero in the market. Feng Wu looked at Li Yang and grinned as soon as he entered: "Good news, good news!" Li Zhi, look who I brought back! ”

As he spoke, one of the people behind him also took off the cloak covering his head and face, and Li Yang saw his face, and immediately got up and exclaimed, "Brother Yang, you are finally back!" ”
